Saw these last night at a local Walmart. I have to say that they fulfilled my expectations as being a pile of crap! Paint job on the clones was horrid (and you thought the lines were bad on the Tactical Ops Trooper!), and the Obi Wan looked like a poorly done, cheap imitation. I know that some collectors will love these, just like some collectors in LOTR dropped the ToyBiz line for the AOME when they came out, yet in the end, I predict that this line will suffer the same fate as AOME. Their will not be enough support to make the line profitable. I might be wrong because there are always those (IMO, no offense intended here) that will buy anything that has a Star Wars label on it. Time will tell, but these were the easiest thing to pass on.

Went to two different Wal-mart's on Saturday, and I saw these battle packs at one of them. They only had a few, and several of those were already bashed to heck.

I bought the battle droids set. The others they had were clone troopers and Utapauan Warriors. If they go on clearance, I might pick 'em up. The only other ones I'm interested in are from the second trilogy with Han, Leia and the gang; those I'd pay full price for.

I've seen the first of these Battle Packs at Wal-Mart for awhile now, and ironically, they seem to be about the only Star Wars product that is just sitting there. I don't think any have been bought yet, and they've been there for a couple of weeks now (clones and Utapau warriors mainly). I have no interest in them. Seeing the pics of this Hoth wave though, I'll admit I'm slightly tempted. I can probably say now that I'll get the Han/Chewie/Tauntaun pack, and we'll see about the others. If I'd buy any "theme" it would be the Battle of Hoth, might be a neat little setup. We'll see when they start popping up at retail.
